Would it be time to put the Grammar 1st XV in the 2nd XV competition, drop SBHS 1st XV to the 4th XV comp and bring in Newington to the 3rds?Grammar really has fallen haven't they, bit of a shame.
Well said BC, as I've already said, loved that game and that substitute (I assume is the Bede your talking about) made a massive difference with some confident carry's and line breaks. Will be interesting to see how he handles it this Saturday.Well deserved to hear that Bede Clout has moved into the 1st XV, was injured to begin the season and therefore was placed in the 3rd XV, but has performed well in every game for the 2nd XV, as well as subbing on for the 1sts against Joeys and making major runs to march them up the field, it is quite unfortunate to hear about Angus Reardon being moved down to the 2nd XV after playing what I believe was his best game of the season against Scots but that's the way this game goes.
Yes, silly that High are in the 3rds but New isn'tWould it be time to put the Grammar 1st XV in the 2nd XV competition, drop SBHS 1st XV to the 4th XV comp and bring in Newington to the 3rds?
I like the outside-centre matchup between Hartman and Kingdom. Hartman undoubtedly one of the best centres in the comp but Kingdom is highly underrated and is yet to have a real breakout game, I think this could be the week we really see Lewis at full flight and make a push for higher rep honours.Any thoughts on the upcoming game between Shore and View?
View obviously got the win at home back in May, yet, have not won at Northbridge since 2020, with some intense battles in 23 and 22
Would love to hear some thoughts, I am looking forward to these battles
15 Callaghan vs 15 Mason
7 Lemaite vs 7 Dempsey
5 Baxter vs 5 Graham
9 Binnie vs 9 Grover
Will this ever change?Yes, silly that High are in the 3rds but New isn't
I have full confidence that the Ignatian men specifically Henri Dempsey and Tom Hartman who are both young for their year will secure the win against Shore being the 2 most dominating players on the Ignatian side.Any thoughts on the upcoming game between Shore and View?

I think Newington 3rds are in a position where they would beat most teams in the 4ths comp but would struggle to win a game in the 3rds comp. Definitely a better side then High though but maybe they should both stay out. Although adding a thirds team would strengthen and support the rugby program at Newington and results will likely follow.Yes, silly that High are in the 3rds but New isn't
Grammar would get skinned in the 2’s comp on average and you would need to drop another schools 2nd XV out to make the numbers work. So no, crap idea.Would it be time to put the Grammar 1st XV in the 2nd XV competition, drop SBHS 1st XV to the 4th XV comp and bring in Newington to the 3rds?
Or they could start the 3rds comp 1 week early….. IDK, it’s already a rable. Joeys 3rds haven’t played at the same venue as the rest of the school this term…. And the 4ths had a bye on the weekend we played Riverview! Extraordinary!!I think with the 3rds comp, it's just a very tricky area to figure out with High, Grammar and Newington. Putting Grammar into the 2XV comp would be a scheduling nightmare unless it was reverted back to a one round competition or another school were dropped to the 3XV, both of which don't make much sense to me. High should be replaced by New in the 3XV comp but placing a school's 1st XV into an unofficial comp seems unfair, no matter how badly they may be losing (Although it may be time), but yes Newington should be brought into the 3rd XV comp and should be an easy enough scheduling work around, having the 3rd XVs play on the long weekend day, though some schools may object to having boys out of school from 11AM, but needs to be done for Newington to exist in the comp.

Re; Daily Telegraph GPS sports article ; I don’t mind Rowing included with Rugby as the Rowers are obviously Australias best, just as many of the best Union/League players play in the GPS.Conveniently the article stats are configured to "this century". But well done to them

You obviously haven’t been in touch with GPS basketball in recent years, every year the NSW state champion school comes from GPS/CAS 2022 to present newington, 2021 shore, 2019 riverview and some of the worlds best like Kings old boy and nba stud Josh green, view old boy and Sydney kings star Jordi Hunter, Australian boomers Nick Kay from newington, Isaac Humprihes from Scot’s, tyrese proctor (trinity grammar/duke university) come from the gps and private school system so to say it is a joke to you include sports like these is wrong especially considering that nsw state teams are often filled by gps/cas students and there are multiple Australian representatives and Australian selection camp athletes from multiple different gps schools in the past few years, including basketball in this graph is not to benefit Riverview as other schools have more premierships “this century” at the 1sts level but it is included because it would be wrong to not include a sport that attracts large crowds in the gps and is played at a high levelRe; Daily Telegraph GPS sports article ; I don’t mind Rowing included with Rugby as the Rowers are obviously Australias best, just as many of the best Union/League players play in the GPS.
However including soccer, cricket, basketball and tennis is a joke as very few are the nations best at their respective sports and no one in those sports cares at all about GPS soccer, cricket, basketball, tennis. I played 1sts Basketball and it was a huge drop in standard from State leagues. Anyone who is talented in those sports will go overseas or AIS, and in the case of cricket play grade in Sydney 1st Division.
People only care about GPS Rugby and Rowing. Next time they’ll probably include AFL, handball, volleyball, hide‘n‘seek, Quidditch, Tiddlywinks and freesbie in the GPS sports championships table
